Lipper Rankings for GuideStone Funds

The Lipper rankings are calculated by Lipper Inc., a Reuters Company, which is a nationally recognized organization that compares the performance of mutual funds within a universe of funds having similar investment objectives. Rankings are based on total return performance:  with capital gains and dividends reinvested, with annual operating expenses deducted, but without including front-end or back-end sales charges. Rankings are relative to a peer group and do not necessarily mean that the fund had high total returns.

1 The MyDestination Funds (“Funds”) attempt to achieve their objectives by investing in the GuideStone Select Funds. The Funds are managed to a retirement date (“target date”) by adjusting the percentage of fixed income securities and equity securities to become more conservative each year until reaching the retirement year and then approximately 15 years thereafter. The target date in the name of the Funds is the approximate date when an investor plans to start withdrawing money. By investing in the Funds you will also incur the expenses and risks of the underlying Select Funds.  The principal risks of the Funds will change depending on the asset mix of the Select Funds in which they invest. You may directly invest in the Select Funds. The Funds’ value will go up and down in response to changes in the share prices of the investments that they own. The amount invested in the Fund is not guaranteed to increase, is not guaranteed against loss, nor is the amount of the original investment guaranteed at the target date. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Funds.

The value of assets in the real estate industry may go through cycles of relative underperformance and outperformance in comparison to equity securities markets in general.

5 Foreign securities may involve additional risks, such as political instability, reduced market liquidity and currency volatility.
